Letter: Spouting common sense about gun control

Beverly Theil, I applaud you for being brave enough to write an article that gives us a common sense view into what is driving the violence in our country.

It really scares me to think that some people's reaction to beautiful little children being murdered in cold blood is to run out and stock up on more guns.

I can't fathom how you can get from children being murdered to the response of I need more guns.

Sportsmen hunting or people feeling the need to have a gun to protect their home I have no problem with. Please just use common sense.

We all need to join together to come up with some real solutions and not listen to the NRA's solution of adding more guns to the mix by wanting them in schools.

That is not the answer. Lack of funding for real education is a big problem in our schools today and funneling more money away from actual teaching to armed guards is definitely not the solution. We all know the NRA won't be funding the school guards.

Please read Beverly Theil's article in the Saturday, Jan. 12, Daily Record with an open mind about how we can curb the horrible gun violence in our country today.
